Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a bain marie and a food warmer?
A bain marie uses a water bath to gently heat food, while a dry food warmer uses radiant heat. Bain marie tables are ideal for sauces, soups, and dishes that need moisture retention.
Can I get a bain marie with a different voltage?
Yes, we customize voltage to match your local electrical standards, including 110V/60Hz for North America and 230V/50Hz for Europe.
What GN pan sizes are compatible?
Our bain marie tables are designed for standard 1/1 and 1/2 GN pans. Custom pan sizes available on request.
What is the minimum order quantity?
1 unit. Add one station or equip a whole serving line – there is no minimum volume.
How fast can you deliver?
Production takes 3-5 days for standard and most custom configurations. Large batch orders add roughly 5 days.
Do you ship to the USA and Europe, and who handles customs?
Yes – we ship worldwide with DDP door-to-door service to the US and EU. Duties, import paperwork, and customs clearance are handled by us before delivery reaches your dock.
Are your bain maries certified?
Our units are CE certified for electrical safety. If your project requires NSF-certified equipment, production can be arranged through our partner factory that holds NSF certification; terms are confirmed in the quotation.
Can the unit match our existing serving line?
Yes – send us your current line dimensions and pan layout, and we will produce matching units that drop straight into place.
